professional Food, Drink, Product & Restaurant Photography

Over the past four years, I’ve specialized in food photography, restaurant photography, and food & drink product photography, working with a diverse range of clients, from food manufacturers and event organizers to private chefs, caterers, cafés, pubs, and hospitality businesses.

My goal is simple: to help your brand stand out with exceptional food imagery that tells your story and captures the quality, creativity, and atmosphere of your offering.

Why Professional Food Photography Matters

While smartphone photos are quick and convenient, they rarely do justice to the artistry of your dishes or the dining experience you offer. High-quality, professionally styled food and drink photography elevates your brand, builds trust, and leaves a lasting impression.

• Consistent with your brand identity

• Competitive in a saturated food and hospitality market

Client Testimonial: Forget Me Not Café & Choice Catering

‘Sam provided a photo shoot for my cafe, Forget Me Not Cafe in Moulton Community Centre and my catering business Choice Catering. The photos are outstanding and we have had loads of positive comments from our customers. Sam was professional throughout and we all had a really fun day creating our dishes for her to shoot.
